USM Sympathizer: My apologies. My name is mud in this household. It is probably mud with you also. And justifiably so. While Delta was retrieving my present to her from under our Christmas tree, I re-posted her version of Twelve Days of Christmas on your thread - not realizing that your version was still "in progress." Delta is not happy with me even a little bit. I hope that, when she sees my apology here, she will open her present. But I'm afaid that might not happen until well after the new year begins. No Christmas dinner for me today.

A new support group for Board spouses will meet on Tuesdays at noon in Java Werks. Virtual presence is welcome.

No problemo! I hadn't realized that this had been tried before; I really enjoyed reading the earlier version. I only joined the board sometime last spring, so I wasn't around last Christmas.

Happy holidays to everyone (well, with one or two possible exceptions).

Date: Dec 25, 2004

I should have specified the "one or two possible exceptions" I had in mind. One is named Roy, and the other's name starts with an "S."
